One of the most popular graphic designing programs on the market, Adobe Photoshop CS4 provides professional-level tools and capabilities to transform any image. Like any other high-performance software program, this tool must be regularly updated through the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Update. Developed and released by Adobe, this update for Windows operating systems addresses multiple issues and other vulnerabilities uncovered after the initial software release.

Malicious Attack Vulnerabilities

After the initial release of Photoshop CS4, programmers began finding weaknesses in codes and areas throughout the program where hackers with malicious intent could infiltrate the user's computer. The ever-increasing threat of cyber-attacks is continually on the mind of software developers as the smallest vulnerability can allow a flood of malware and viruses to enter the program and computer.

Thankfully, the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Update patches these vulnerabilities within program code and strengthens the defense of the program. From this update, users would have to open malicious files manually instead of having these files automatically downloaded onto the computer.

Drawing Tool Malfunctions

Once Adobe Photoshop CS4 began circulating throughout computers, various issues regarding drawing tools were uncovered. While many of these issues were corrected upon earlier updates, the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Update resolves issues related to gradient preset files, styles and brushes. If you've noticed your various tools are malfunctioning or not adhering their particular style in an appropriate manner, you must update CS4 to correct this issue.
